How do i view all photos on ipad that haven't been added to an album yet?

I have over a thousand pictures on my iPad. I want to sort them into albums. But I am running into difficulties.
(1) After adding a bunch of images to various albums, I am sure I missed a few. Is there a way to just see ONLY those pictures that have NOT yet been added to any album? Can this be done in Photos app, or do I have to buy iPhoto or something else?
(2) Is there any app that can overlay on top of each image thumbnail a set of icons where each overlaid icon represents one of the albums that the photo is currently in?
Thanks.

No... the whole point of my question is that I want to organize my photos on my iPad prior to putting them on my computer. I have a lot of "dead time" on the bus/train/plane where using iPad for this would be ideal. I find it shocking that it lacks this basic capability in the built-in software.
Surely there must be an app which can access the images I've already imported to iPad using the Camera Connection Kit, and allow me to sort them out into folders or albums. Photos app already does most of what I'd like it to do, but it does not let you filter images by which albums they don't belong to. I.e. you can't see which images aren't sorted into at least one album yet. Photos app also lacks metadata viewing/filtering/tagging/rating. Heck even my PS3 can show metadata...!
I am constantly mystified at Apple's lack of what I would consider pretty basic features. There are some ideas, like the classic Mac GUI file/folder desktop analogy, that to me are timeless. I have yet to see the benefit or advantage to iOS's crippling lack of the ability to work with files in a logical or direct way. I do understand how letting the app itself organize its own documents into directories itself helps it keep track of files for the purposes of using CoreData to create more informative views and organizational structures. However in Unix there are abundant ways to have this cake and eat it too -- you can do what TimeMachine does, which is to create hard links to files, so any given file can simultaneously exist in multiple different folders without necessitating duplicated data. Why can't Photos app therefore let me organize my files into folders the way I want to, in a standard, Mac-like way, without disrupting its own DB, simply by usig hard links or symbolic links, or something like this? Why not have file system layer that refers to each file by a UUID instead of by a directory path?
I am so tired of the gimped file system of iOS. First they said it was for security on iPhone. But then when iPad came out and it was the same way, then the excuse changes to, "People just like it better this way, and so should you." Wait, so 1984-2007 didn't happen...? You can't suddenly act like the Macintosh desktop analogy is suddenly an irrelevant bad idea. Just because people suffer through the lameness that is iTunes File Sharing, doesn't mean they universally would like it better if they could just access their files right in the Finder instead of through a kludge-funnel.

  • How can I view all photos from a specific year?

    How can I view all photos taken in one calendar year like 2010? Is there a way to filter this way?

    Yes, create a smart album or a search with a "Date" rule or a Calendar rule.
    For example: New > Smart Album
    Add Rule:  Date
         Capture year is 2010.
    or: Add Rule: Calendar
    and click-step  the year back to 2010:
    In the Calendar it is a bit cumbersom to select a whole year, because it will only show 3 month at once. Select the first day and then scroll to to the end oft the year.

  • How can I sink all photos in iPad to mac pro

    I use iCloud and I can't seem to photo stream my photos from my iPad to mac. 

    Connect your iPad to your computer; launch iPhoto; select the iPad on the left; the main screen should show the Import option.
    You can also use the Image Capture application in your Utilities folder, Aperture, or whatever other photo app you are using. Just select that app to open when the iPad is connected.
    To select which photos you want to sync back to the iPad, use the Photos tab in iTunes.

  • HT201317 how do I view all photos in my icloud

    Hi so I know I have more photos in I cloud then what is streamed to my Iphone how do I pull them up? thanks

    Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days.  After that, they are removed from photo stream but will remain on your device (up to 1000 photos).  If you just connected your phone to photo stream, it will only receive photos added in the last 30 days as older photos are no longer there.

  • How do if recover deleted photos from ipad that were not backed up/synced? Had just downloaded and seconds later accidentally selected delete all.

    Deleted photos that I just downloaded (minutes prior) and they were not synced to icloud. Any way to recover?

    Since you have no backups, I suggest you use some recovery tool to recover deleted photos from iPhone/iPad. You can google it, there are many available.

  • HT201317 How do I view all photos from my photo stream on my PC?

    When talking to an Apple employee, they stated that I had 374 photos in my photo stream but when bringing it up on my PC under pictures/photostream I can only get 114. Why can't I get the other 260 photos?

    If your system meets the iCloud system requirements for photo stream (OS X 10.7.2 or later and iPhoto '11 9.2 or later or Aperture 3.4), you can sign into your iCloud account and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.  This will import photo stream photos added in the last 30 days.  To import ealier photos you would need to create a shared photo stream that included these photos and invite yourself, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99. 
    Another option is to save them to your camera roll (if not already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once in the camera roll, they can be imported to iPhoto on your Mac using your USB cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • How do I view my photos and videos that are stored in iCloud?

    I sold my iPod 4th generation and backed up all videos and photos from my iPod to iCloud before I carried out a system reset to sell on. I can't seem to view anything in iCloud from my laptop or iPad. The only items that were synced back to my iPad were contacts, apps and calendar events but no photos or videos.
    Anyone got any ideas???

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

    How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2?  I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another.  When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums.  Please help.

    You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
    If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad

    I use iCloud. I have an iPhone, Apple laptop, and I recently bought an iPad. I can view the pictures I take on my cell phone on my iPad. But what about all the pictures I took on my phone before I bought my iPad? How do I view those on my iPad?

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • How do you sync all photos to new ipad

    how do I sync all photos to new ipad?  I did a restore to copy apps and setting.  Then did a sync. Music is synced and all apps appear to have their data.  But there are only 2 photo albums.

    All photo albums have to reside in iTunes to be synced.  They are then synced up to your IOS device when you slect apply..
    You need to go to your iTunes device photo tab and select the Itunes photo albums you want uploaded and then tap apply in the lower right corner.
